Is Harris Really Worth Voting For?

[Revoltingest]

sounds like more backtracking.

Only because you fail to understand.

You still make the mistake of equating privilege with right.
Rights are never absolute in any legal system, eg, the right
to be from unwarranted searches is lost when in prison.
A privilege is far more easily lost.

Let's try examples....

Voting is a right, not a privilege.
Passing a test cannot be legally required to enjoy this right.
Fees cannot be charged to exercise this right.

Driving is a privilege, not a right.
Passing a test can be legally required to enjoy this privilege.
Fees can be charged to exercise this privilege.

Nevermind.

I want to avoid shortages & lowered quality
that comes with such regulation, eg, Jimmy
Carter's creation of long lines at gas stations,
& running out of gasoline.
That didn't bother you?

It bothers me that anyone is even willing to pretend that putting the breaks on massive corporate price gouging somehow leads to shortages.

A privilege is something given to you by someone in charge. You get to do something with permission. A “right” is inherent, something which exists without permission from any power or authority. A privilege is a grant of permission from power/authority to do an act.

It bothers me that liberals pretend to be putting the
brakes on price gouging, when they're really just
looking for lower prices, & don't consider the
consequences of government over-regulation.

OK.
Does your post comport with mine (#273)?

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

And so it should be.
We don't want to be flooded with your ilk.

Poor you. You are defending your privilege for which it is not your making as you were lucky to be born where you were born.

A proper response to your post....

I recall how disliked she was by democrats during her presidential campaign.

and that has ....nothing to do with the question I posed

Yes the DNC can ignore the primary election results if they choose. It's just a party nomination. The DNC ain't got to listen to nobody on that.

So delegates were supposed to ignore reality and vote for someone no longer running for president and who would not accept the nomination? Then what? Go home? Not nominate anyone? What is your fantasy here?

Tell me if the assassination attempt on Trump had been just a little bit more on target. Would you be complaining that the RNC delegates ignored the primary electorate to replace Trump on the ticket? Wait, let me guess, it would somehow be "different"

 

[Pogo]

No, voting is a privilege granted only to certain persons

The problem with this conversation is that right and privilege are really the same thing. It is just that due solely to our privilege of being US citizens we attempt to guarantee the rights mentioned in the Constitution to all of us that are citizens whether they exist naturally or not in human society.

Is that all you have? No comeback of your own making. But rather you have to rely on the wit of other people.

Cal-Maine foods, one of the countries largest food manufactures posted a 718% increase in profits over last year. If you get happy paying for that kind of gouging you go right ahead and keep on. What is that old saying about a fool and his money?

 

[crossfire]

Not a clear cut case of revokation.
Explain why you believe it is?

The US revoked his passport once again while in he was in Ghana, so he started citizenship proceedings in Ghana so he could continue to work on the Encyclopedia Africana there. He never did revoke his US citizenship, but was stripped of it.

 

[Revoltingest]

No, voting is a privilege granted only to certain persons

That is a novel legal claim.
Which "certain persons" are included & excluded.
You don't recognize the differences between
a right & a privilege that I illustrated by
contrasting a driver license with voting?

The problem with this conversation is that right and privilege are really the same thing.

That is to ignore the differences.

 

[Revoltingest]

Is that all you have?

Oh, I have so much more.
Don't tempt me, bozosky!

 

[Revoltingest]

You don't say what the profit was before the increase.
If a large company made $1 profit one year, & $8.18
the next year, that would be a 718% increase.

You see the problem with your argument.
Even if your claim is accurate.

If you get happy...

I get happy when posters stop
proffering dumb arguments.

Only your own material, please. And no stealing on the Internet, or you are nothing but a closet socialist.

I read the link. It's more complex than you state.
So it doesn't support the claim that citizenship
is mere privilege, & not a right.

Socialist = Thief
I like your thinking....on this occasion.

Well, it could also be no private property and not just a thief. Your bias is showing and so is mine.
